Grown in the Stour Valley on the Essex - Sussex border by Stourgarden, the new onion, with a mild flavour, will be supplied exclusively to Tesco. The Rosanna Pink onion reached commercial volumes this year after three years of cultivation. The harvest this year was a bit touch and go due to the very wet weather but there will enough volume to supply Tesco year round.
The onions will be sold in 3 packs for £1.30, 10p of which will go to Cancer Research UK.
